Nothing Stops the Bleeding

-->

                                                       

Nothing stops the bleeding

I’ve prayed, I’ve rebelled

I’ve tried all my usual medicines

Nothing stops the sting

I’ve failed myself

I was betrayed

I don’t like the man I am anymore

The waves of pain are a roar

I can’t ignore

Nothing stops the corruption

They’re selling kids

And they are shameless

Nothing stops the gossip

It doesn’t matter if I’m wrong or right

Their minds are made up

I don’t see that I’m making a difference

Fighting floods with my bare hands

Nothing stops the shaking

I’m always afraid

I’m always watched

Nothing stops the racing

Always trying to prove myself

Always trying to be something

I don’t see your hands in this darkness

I don’t see any hope for change

Stuck deep underneath my emotions

Like a building collapsed on top of me

Nothing stops the TV

Nothing stops the bombs of hate

No one stops the deportations

No one sees your face
